The Society's fundamental purpose, as it has been since its foundation in 1660, is to recognise, promote, and support excellence in science and to encourage the development and use of science for the benefit of humanity Drawing on the expertise of our fellowship, we provide expert, independent advice to policy-makers and the general public, championing the contributions that science can make to economic prosperity, quality of life and environmental sustainability. Recent policy studies have covered topics such as ocean resources, machine learning, school-business collaboration and synthetic biology We also provide a forum for debate, bringing together diverse audiences to discuss the impact of science on current and emerging policy issues The Royal Society is looking for an agency or agencies to engage with public audiences in order to inform the wider programme of work on neural interface technologies and encourage proposals from social enterprises.
